When saving your work, please leave the default comment but add what you actually mapped, for example "added buildings and a residential road".

Imagery

Please use the Bing aerial imagery

If the imagery seems to be out of alignment with existing roads and buildings, you should apply a shift on the imagery. In the iD editor: from the menu “Background settings” (shortcut, “B” key), choose “Adjust imagery offset.” Adjust the image visually.

Buildings

Find a building on the satellite imagery and trace it with the "Area" tool

Label the area as “Building” (building=yes), then correct for right angles by pressing the “S” key on your keyboard

Please map all the buildings you can see within the square that you choose; if you leave some buildings unmapped do not mark the square as "Mark Task as Done"

Avoid having building polygons touch each other

If you cannot complete the square, click "Stop mapping" and write a comment about your contributions (e.g., mapped buildings with Bing imagery) and any issues that arised (e.g., too much tree coverage to map all buildings)

Once you have completed a square, click "Mark Task as Done" and write a comment about your contributions (e.g., mapped buildings with Bing imagery)

Start Mapping!

Click the "Start contributing" button below
